Diamine oxidase activity and imidazoleacetic acid formation in the foetal and maternal guinea pig liver.
Diamine oxidase activity and imidazoleacetic acid formation in the foetal and maternal guinea pig liver during gestation were examined. DAO activity and IMAA formation in the foetal liver increased continuously, while maternal enzyme activity and ImAA formation in the second half of pregnancy simultaneously decreased. The roles of GABA and ImAA are discussed.
